Participants benefited from immersive research experiences, the pSEMIand ZeroToASIC speaker series, and mentorship from faculty, which connected them to industrycontexts and enabled them to bring real-world applications into their classrooms. Building on thisfoundation, program facilitators are committed to offering continued support, including sharedresource folders, a LinkedIn group for ongoing communication, and extended guidance for chipdesign projects.
